Upgrade Notes

• XML support in Keystone has been removed as of Kilo. When upgrading from Juno to Kilo, it is recommended that references to XML and XmlBodyMiddleware be removed from the Keystone Paste configuration. This includes removing the XML middleware filters and there references from the public_api, admin_api, api_v3, public_version_api, admin_version_api and any other pipelines that may contain the XML filters.

OpenStack Network Service (Neutron)

Known Issues

None yet.

Upgrade Notes

• During the Kilo development cycle, the Neutron team has split out the advanced services (FWaaS, LBaaS, and VPNaaS) into separate git repositories. Because of this change, operators will need to modify their configuration files. The following note provides the changes required:
  • Modify neutron.conf as follows if you're using LBaaS with a service plugin:
    • LOADBALANCER:Haproxy:neutron_lbaas.services.loadbalancer.drivers.haproxy.plugin_driver.HaproxyOnHostPluginDriver:default
  • Modify neutron.conf as follows if you're using VPNaaS with a service plugin:
    • VPN:openswan:neutron_vpnaas.services.vpn.service_drivers.ipsec.IPsecVPNDriver:default
  • You also need to change the individual advanced service configuration files to point to the new location for device drivers. Examples are given below:
    • For FWaaS: "driver = neutron_fwaas.services.firewall.drivers.linux.iptables_fwaas.IptablesFwaasDriver"
    • For LBaaS: "driver = neutron_lbaas.services.loadbalancer.drivers.haproxy.namespace_driver.HaproxyNSDriver"
    • For VPNaaS: "driver = neutron_vpnaas.services.vpn.device_drivers.ipsec.OpenSwanDriver"

OpenStack Block Storage (Cinder)

Known Issues

Upgrade Notes

• The 'host' config option for multiple-storage backends in cinder.conf is renamed to 'backend_host' in order to avoid a naming conflict with the 'host' to locate redis. If you use this option, please ensure your configuration files are updated.
